A caped silhouette stands lonely in the night,
All that see him murmur in fright.
His sword is plunged into the ground,
Still as a statue, makes no sound.
A crown of thorns atop his head,
A face if steel and a heart of lead.
Cawing to him, as if waiting for a command,
By his feet, the unkindness of ravens land.

Nocturnal & sewn into the night. Silent & brisk out into a city of lights. Blade at hand, alongside the reaper they stand. Fear in the air, looking out into a dark dreamland.

Four of us towards the town, Our handsome brows creased to a frown. Searching for a meal for us, A quiet drink - no need for fuss.
